Found a crashed cupra on Tuesday, so went up and stole the polished inlet, oil filler cap & dipstick...then had to go back & finish the job so had the rocker as well, with alot of swearing i managed to get it all back on...then attacked the lot with autosol...came up well but the rocker still isnt looking fantastic:

New:

unfortunately the idiots sent me the wrong shaped one so its well and truley lodged against the bumper, still managed to fit it though

Also got some dice off ebay, not sure about them, but if i get RS's they will definately be a keeper:

Image

Fitting my Ferodo pads at 3pm at A.P.D, set me back a whopping £120 for the pair...but only the best for my brembos :) this made me chuckle:

looking at low 5's, getting the traction down is a pain though...thats why my new toyos i bought at the end of december now need changing :S

the ibizas party piece is a rolling start :)

a few more showing the bay....loving it at the mo, definately gonna get hold of a polished strut brace & a few more caps...was also thinking of colour coding alot of the pipework..
